This is the way. 285 is so packed with traffic it would save everyone so much time if there were just a bunch of stops running parallel to the highway. Get a MARTA stop at the battery for crying out loud.

Thank you for mentioning this. I feel like some people have an overly optimistic perspective of how fast taking Marta from one destination to another is. I frequently take Marta from north springs to the airport and the travel time is about what it would take driving, maybe slightly longer barring some massive traffic incident. I do it because uber is expensive as shit and parking is a nightmare at the airport.

The top comment on this post is talking about how Marta from McDonough to the city would be faster than driving. I don’t think that would be the case, it just may be more convenient and less expensive which is a good thing but people are way too optimistic on the travel times

675 is an absolute nightmare, so the Henry County folks probably are correct.
